Recently, minimal invasive laser enucleation of the prostate (MiLEP) has been introduced as a miniaturized approach utilizing a 22 Fr endoscope.

After the PSM of 2187 patients, data from 200 patients (HoLEP: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009100, MiLEP: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009100) treated at a high\u2010volume laser center were analyzed. Key parameters included operative time, enucleated tissue volume, complication rates, and catheterization duration.

However, MiLEP showed significantly shorter median morcellation times (5 vs. 3\u2009min, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03), while coagulation time was longer (6 vs. 5\u2009min, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02). Overall, complication rates were similar between both groups (15% vs. 16%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.85), with similar Clavien\u2013Dindo distributions (Grade II: 13% vs. 11%; Grade IIIb: 2% in both groups). Recatheterization (8% vs. 4%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.23), macrohematuria requiring prolonged catheterization (1% vs. 5%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.1), and postoperative fever (4% vs. 5%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.73) showed no significant differences and were size\u2010independent across prostates &lt;\u200930, 30\u201359, and &gt;\u200960\u2009mL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Implementation of MiLEP is safe and feasible in a center with HoLEP experience, demonstrating comparable perioperative outcomes.
